Hen or Roo?

We are pretty sure our Ameraucana Jane is actually a Wayne. After doing some reading, we checked he/she out and it looks like he/she has pointed tail feathers going on and we have been hearing crowing coming from the coop in the early morning. Jane/Wayne's comb is also thicker, but I have read that that is not a definitive marker.... however, those saddle feathers.....We have 16 (all pullets-- hahaha), and this one is the only one with the pointed (and super glossy) saddle feathers.

Curious to hear what y'all say. Is Jane really Wayne? (below on far left)

That looks just like my SLW in the far right, is that a pullet? If so how old when she got color in her beek??

Wayne all the way!

I agree.

Thank you all for your feedback. We were fairly certain. We figured with 16 pullets we were bound to have at least one male in the bunch. But I agree-- he has beautiful coloring.

We have 2 SLW, they are about a week or two apart. The older one in the above picture is Carolina and I am not sure when she got color in her beak-- but she is about 14 weeks old. Our younger, Louisiana, is 12 weeks and her beak doesn't have color like her older *sister*. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
